McDonald's Corporation
Jack Greenberg, Chairman

Oak Brook, IL 60521
Dear Mr. Greenberg:
We were very happy to learn that McDonald's has added
sexual orientation to its non-discrimination policy.
Discrimination in all forms, including religion,
sexual orientation, and gender identity is not only
morally and ethically wrong, it contributes to
disproportionate homelessness and unemployment among
people with minority characteristics. We thank you
for this improvement in your personnel policies, and
we hope that you will strongly encourage McDonald's
franchise owners to follow suit.
Sincerely,
Barbara Lamond Purdom Christopher Purdom
